Liberia: Efforts to Conserve Gola Forest May Go Down the Drain, If…MONROVIA – A group of illicit miners have evaded the Gola Forest National Park carrying on dredge mining in violation of the law establishing the Park. The mining is taking place on the Mano River that stretches through the Grand Cape Mount side of the Gola Forest National Park. “The FDA is having rangers around the Gola Forest National Park, dredge is not a small thing that you can move with without anyone see it so how come this one happened”, he argued. The Gola Forest National Park (GNFP) is home to some of the world’s endangered wildlife species which include but not limited to the African elephant, Zebra Deiker, the wild Chimpanzee among others. These illegal activities violate laws creating the Gola Forest National Park and the Wildlife Act of 2015.
